Sounds like you initially wired a hot wire to the ground. Make sure you check all of the fuses again.

Are you trying to start the bike in nuetral? Battery still ok (do the lights still turn on)?

yeah everything is fine now. just put the front back on and it started right up. called local honda dealership and talked to a mechanic. he said that he believes there is some wierd jap technology that recognized the front was off and as a safty feature the bike wont start. my guess is a pressure switch somewhere. but the bike runs and no problems so far. thanks for the help.
